Margarita Cocktail
Margarita, a delightful cocktail served in almost every bar across the world, was believed to be first created in the year 1938 by Carlos “Danny” Herrara at his restaurant for one of the customers Marjorie King, a Ziegfeld dancer, who was allergic to all spirits except tequila. Another story surrounding the creation of margarita cocktail is about a bartender Don Carlos, who in the year 1941, experimented with drinks one afternoon and offered it to Margarita Henkel, a lady visiting the cantina and the daughter of the then-German-ambassador. Since she was the first person to try the cocktail, it came to be known after her. The most believable claim that most people agree with, however, is that of Francisco “Pancho” Morales, who first mixed the drink on 4th of July, 1942 at Tommy’s Place Bar in the El Paso-Juarez area.
